Adoption Services Associates the Law Firm, as we can clearly see by their add was the first Agency that Jenalee Ryan’ss “Silver Spoons /Abraham Center of life” used in the multistate scheme to defraud me!

Look at their website … http://www.adoptionservicesassociates.org/ looks pretty harmless doesn’t it!

Remember in the earlier posts, Jenalee Ryan seeks attorney’s first adoptions second!

According to the Texas Bar … http://www.texasbar.com/Content/ContentGroups/Public_Information1/Legal_Resources_Consumer_Information/Family_Law1/Adoption_Options.htm

“You can legally pay an attorney, not for the placement of a child, but for reasonable attorneys fees ..”

In Context from the Above URL …
As a general rule, pay the birth mother no money. You can’t give the birth mother a $5,000 check after writing on it “for medical expenses.” Instead of giving money to the birth mother for medical expenses, for example, pay the medical provider directly. You can legally pay an attorney, not for the placement of a child, but for reasonable attorneys fees relating to his or her preparation of documents and representation in proceedings to terminate the birth parents’ rights in the child and in the adoption proceedings. Because the law contains unanswered questions, we strongly recommend that you secure the legal help and advice of someone experienced with and knowledgeable about the adoption field.

So it is legal in Texas to pay an Attorney for a child but not the birth mother!
